Pest Concerns in Healthcare

Healthcare facilities, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical care centers and physical or mental rehabilitation centers, must meet the highest level of sanitation, while caring for very sensitive populations. As various pests pose a number of health threats through the spread of bacteria and contamination of surfaces, medical supplies and equipment, the prevention of pest-borne infections is crucial.

The size of healthcare facilities tends to be a major factor when it comes to proper pest control and prevention – the larger the facility, the bigger the potential for pest infestations. An effective pest control program developed by a trusted partner is an investment in the health of patients and staff alike, as well as an investment in maintaining a sound public reputation.
